Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2011

[User211]

It is that time of year again. Should be there this weekend with the notably downmarket pornograph I've always used here. Let's hope this cheap **** of a camera takes some nice 'n' sleezy shots... but the old girl is a bit variable, so finger's crossed.

How 'bout a "buy Justin a decent pornograph fund", hey?

Some chance...

Looking forward to the posts.

What's even better - Australia gets a Hi-Fi show this year too - not 'till October (and it's in Melbourne), but I'm planning already. First one in five years!

Hm... isn't anywhere is Queensland going to be a long way to Melbourne? Sounds like a small holiday is in order...

As Britain's preeminent MLC senior member, we look forward to your comprehensive accounting of all that vibrates, rotates, oscillates, stimulates and otherwise tickles one's fancy

Enjoy the show. I would especially like to hear your "top 3" and "bottom 3" picks for best and worst of show.

Cheers

No - only 1 1/2 hours flight. Hopefully I'll get down there. Have fun at Bristol!

Here are the Bristol Exhibitors. Looks pretty good. No MLs/Krell/Audio Research etc as I can't see that Absolute Sounds, the importer/distributor/big margin+ merchants are involved this year.

Also, an upcoming no trade enthusiast only event is being held soon, and I'll be there too: Scalford Hi-Fi Show. May post a few pics & comments on that.

Request noted Todd. At least we know the ML CLX won't form one of the worst three systems.:ROFL: Was that even vaguely funny? No, probably not!

As a fellow Brit, the expression "bristol exhibitors" makes me smile (think rhyming slang).

Indeed. But will they understand, Rich, will they understand?

I can appreciate a good barb

If you're gonna give'm, you gotta learn to take'm too, right?

sort of an iambic pentameter thing, but with low-brow naughty-bits slang?

wild guess.

Round here, that means you like valium.

I've taken a few from you already, Todd.

Tum tee tum tee tum tee tum tee tum tee... not sure about the iambic pentameter... but the rude bits? Yup!

Sorry guys - show report cancelled due to me picking up the wrong camera battery this morning. Major bummer. I'm gutted.

There is a tidbit here by me: dodgy report. A couple of iPhone videos too but they're not much cop.

That's life, I guess.

A pornographer without his pornograph! Not too dandy! Why did you not just buy another Battery in Bristol? Todd would have reimbursed you for the cost.

Justin... I feel for you man. That sucks, and it sounds exactly like something I would do as well. Hey, the iPhone vid was just fine. Thanks for posting it!

Cheers

Justin... all you had to do was text me and I would have scrambled a few F/A 22 Raptors for immediate delivery! Next time, mate. Next time.

Spending Todd's money for him, Bernard? Mind you, he does appear to be in command of the airforce, so is presumably of reasonable financial wealth.

The truth is we went on a massive camera battery hunt in Dubai, thinking it would be easy - but we couldn't get one anywhere. I'd have missed the show trying to find one, I expect.

Thanks, but I'll phone Alfred on the Batphone - figure he might be quicker still. Just PM me the Batphone's number, please Todd.

BTW: saw some Olive HDs at the show - various models. All very nice, I thought.

Spending Todd's or anyone else's money is easy. We all do it here all the time. In any case, the man does own a pair of very pricey CLX, so he does have deep pockets, presumably.

But I expect that finding a battery in Bristol would be different from finding one in the wilds of Dubai. Mind you, I've never been to Dubai, except for one occasion 30 years ago, when my plane from Paris stopped there briefly.

WRT spending money on hi-fi, I like to think for the 35 odd years I've been into it, I know how to "get there" economically. Course I could have bought some CLXs, but that'd be cheating... the road to enlightenment is a long and hard one, grasshopper Bernard. But with a little knowledge pennies can go a long way...

Anyway, I think I like Pornographer better than User211. Infact, I prefer "The Pornographer". But actually, Charlie Sheen is looking cool for a handle... possibly the world's best male fast lane livin' individual at the mo. Prostitutes, wild cocaine parties, $2,000,000 an episode... nice. Rock on Charlie.:rocker::rocker: But dammit, the idiot, he seems to have messed up my fave TV series. No respect for that!:devil:
